The disk is showing that the NTFS partition is active ( I have used a number of tools to check on this ) but no cigar. Thanks for your assistance thus far. I will keep looking for something to fix this. LukeK ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jud" To: "lukek" ; "FreeBSD" Sent: 2003年6月1日 11:29 Subject: Re: Doh !
